You Give, We Give

About

As a nonprofit 501(c)3, in addition to entertaining, we believe our musical productions can and should do more. In 2015, San Diego Musical Theatre launched the “You Give, We Give” campaign to prove that musical theatre connects us and our audiences to bigger issues within our community. Not only does this program raise awareness and support for our nonprofit partners throughout San Diego, it also provides access to groups who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend theatre shows.

Current Partner

For our upcoming musical production of She Loves Me, we have partnered with Words Alive! Words Alive connects children, teens, and families to the power of reading. Each year they reach over 3,500 underserved children and families across San Diego county. With the help of more than 300 volunteers, Words Alive hosts workshops for families with preschool age children, reads stories aloud and promotes healthy reading habits in elementary schools, leads book clubs that help teens connect what they read to their lives, and provides access to relevant and quality books for families, schools, and community partners. To learn how you can help, visit: www.WordsAlive.org. A percentage of all proceeds donated during the next show will support this joint campaign.
